Winnsboro's Shame and South Car
olina's Ingratitude.
Miss Mcl Dowell, whose death is men
tioned elsewhere in these columns left
to her only near relative a Mrs. Sloan,
a sister, who now lives in this place
alone and almost destitute. Mrs. Sloan
is a widow lady without children ot
near kin, old and very feeble, and ii
altogether a worthy subject of a liber
21l and christain charity. Particularly
does she merit the benevolence or as
sistance of the good people of Winsbo
vo, when It is remembered that she lost
her six and only boys in the Confeder
ate army during the late war. She las
given so much for the country. Will
the country give nothing in return?
Winsboro' News and Herald.
The above paragraph tells the whole
story of Confederate ingratitude to her
tioldiers,while it kindly throws the veil
over our excessive love for the negro,
which is expressed by the lavish expen
diitures which we nake for the educa
tion of his children. Winsboro has
couftributed per-hips, thousands of do)
Jars for negro education, while that
community neglects a poor old woman
who didl more for her country than did
the most famous Spartan mother.
Winnsboro boasts of her schools and
is proud of the enormous tax which she
levies for educational purposes, but she
lets an old woman, the mnother of six
Confederate soldiers, suffer for the~
common necessities of life. But no
matter for that, the "esteemed'' negro
must be educated. We must levy an
enormous tax'on the little liroperty of
Confederate soldiers to educate ne
gr~oes, and then dlistin~guished Southern
gentlemen must volunteer to go to
Washington, hat in hand, and beg fot
mnore akl in the noble work.
Northern men and Northern citizens
p~ension their own soldiers, but we turn
our' back on the disabled Oonfederate
soldier, and those dependent upon him
for' a subsIstence, in order that we may
t he more liberally educate the esteemed
negro. Such a course mnust win the
everlastin g 'gratitude and~( sincere a p
proval ofs honorable and high-mnded
.Northern gentlemen. 'l 4e Con fede

his own State and his own former comn
radv~s in arms cast him aside to starve
in order that th'e esteemed negro ma~y

This condltiQn of affairs must indee(
be gratifying news to the most devoul
negro worshipper of the North. Thi
fact that a Confederate soldier's home

A TEMPEaANCE Doa.-The Mon
taguei (Georgia) Nor'thwest gives th<
following account of a temnperance
dog:
'L~ast Monday evening a strangel
came into a saloon in Montague atu
called for a (drink, which was hande<
him. lHe raised the glass to his lips
when a large dog took him by the col.
lar and tried to pull him out of the door
A crowd collected around and attempt.
ed to take the .dog ofif, supposing it
would hurt him; but the strange rsaid:
'Let him alone; he is my dog. I have
been on a spree at Bowie, andl the doo
pulled me out of the saloon there ani
made me sober uad.' The stranger left
without his drink, accompanied by hiL
faithful dog..
-Somne of our young readers may
like to try the experineit of making a
hanging garden of a sponge. Take a
white -sponge of large size, and sow ii
full of rice, hemp, canary, 'and othei
acedls; then place it in a shallow dish,
in whaich~ a little water is constantly
kept, and as the spongs will absorb the
moisture, the seed will begin to sprout
Wheni this has taken place, the sponge
may be suspended by cords andb hing
where a little sunshine will enter. It
will thus become a mass of greemg foli.
age, and should be refreshed with wa.
ter daily so as to be kept moist.
